Ok, the big day has finally arrived and here is a summary of the last eight PSU/Stanford matches:
2007 NCAA final: PSU defeats Stanford 3-2 2008 NCAA final: PSU defeats Stanford 3-0 2010 preseason Gainesville Fla: Stanford defeats PSU 3-0 2011 preseason Stanford CA: Stanford defeats PSU 3-1 2012 preseason Univ. Park PA: PSU defeats Stanford 3-2 2013 NCAA Regional Final: PSU defeats Stanford 3-2 2014 preseason Stanford CA: Stanford defeats PSU 3-2
What we gather from the above is that Stanford has a pretty solid record vs. PSU in the preseason. In the postseason PSU has owned Stanford. I like PSU to win today 3-1 because apparently RR is doing something right preparing his teams for the BIG games. Also, PSU's talent level is greater than Stanford's and they kill the ball OOS better than Stanford. The best thing Stanford has going for it is experience -- lots of seniors and juniors. The wildcards for PSU are Frantti and Washington (and maybe Lee) -- how do these freshman perform on the big stage?

As of 11 AM Pacific time BYU 12 Penn St 47 Stanford 42 Texas 11 Looks like BYU/Texas and Stanford/Penn St are toss ups according to Volleytalk. What about the team that came in 5th place?

As of 3 PM Pacific time BYU 13 Penn St 52 Stanford 46 Texas 11 Looks like BYU/Texas and Stanford/Penn St are toss ups according to Volleytalk. Anyone who votes past 4PM when the matches start will be fingered with the Shaka sign.

I'm picking BYU and PA St to make the championship match. PSU then beats BYU 3 - 0.
